Romero Games has reportedly been shuttered after its funding was cut for an in-development first-person shooter project.
Bethesda pulled funding from Romero Games and other studios, leading to job losses for employees, who later confirmed the closure on LinkedIn.
A staff member mentioned that the closure came suddenly, with no prior mention during meetings with the publisher.
Microsoft's job cuts, affecting up to 4% of its workforce, led to the cancellation of projects like Everwild and the Perfect Dark reboot at Romero Games.
